Abstract

Glitch detection is provided for a clock signal in a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC), for example between an input buffer and a Phase Locked Loop (PLL). A first pulse signal is generated in response to a rising edge of the clock signal, and a second pulse signal is generated in response to its falling edge. A third pulse signal is generated at a predetermined period of time after a start of the first pulse signal, and a fourth pulse signal is generated at a predetermined period of time after a start of the second pulse signal. A glitch in the clock signal is indicated based on the third pulse signal having an opposite logical level to the clock signal, and/or based on the fourth pulse signal having the same logical level as the clock signal.
